Desperate times call for desperate measures--and if you desperately want to lose weight quickly, and don't mind being quite hungry, consider the 3-Day Diet. If you stick to it, the diet can work. The weight probably won't stay off forever, but by day 4, you'll see a dramatic drop on the scale--by as much as 10 pounds.

Difficulty: Challenging
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Go shopping. You won't need a very large cart because your ingredients consist mainly of coffee, water, grapefruit, saltines and lean protein like tuna or chicken.

  2. Step 2

    Banish all tempting foods from your kitchen. Give your neighbor the leftover birthday cake. Let the kids eat the pasta leftovers. The 3-Day Diet plan works, but it requires that you not consume even a morsel of food not listed on the plan.

  3. Step 3

    Get your significant other on board. Let him know what diet you're on, and why, and insist that he not try to tempt you with bites of his ice cream or pizza. Even one day on this diet will be difficult for people not accustomed to an extremely low calorie intake, so you want to make sure you have support.

  4. Step 4

    Weigh yourself the morning you begin your diet. Get on the scale naked or in clothing you can wear again when the 3-Day Diet is complete, so you'll get an accurate read of your loss.

  5. Step 5

    Follow the 3-Day Diet plant precisely. You can find the plan by searching for "3-Day Diet" at WebMD.com.

  6. Step 6

    Exercise also, if you are not too weak to do so. Cardio is most likely to aid in your weight loss; lifting weights might actually inflate your number on the scale, so stick to jogging, walking, aerobics or another activity that will not cause muscle gain.

  7. Step 7

    Rejoice in the new, skinny you, once the 3-Day Diet is complete. Stay on the right track by following up the 3-Day Diet with a more reasonable everyday plan like Weight Watchers or the South Beach Diet.

Tips & Warnings
  • You might find it easiest to begin this diet at the beginning of a 3-day weekend, when you are away from the temptations of the office or school.
  • Do not stray from the plan by substituting foods. The combination of these specific ingredients is thought to cause the rapid weight loss.
  • Don't follow the diet for more than 3 days. It is not healthy to consume less than 1000 calories on a regular basis.
